The Global Studies degree at Colorado Christian University is relevant to a wide variety of careers, ranging from international business to worldwide aid organizations; many students serve as missionaries and do pastoral work. As a Global Studies major, you'll be encouraged to complete a semester of study abroad during your time at CCU. Near the end of the program, you'll participate in a capstone course called Global Engagement, where you'll explore Christ’s mandate to the Church and learn how that call personally affects you.
